First, Ryan Johnston plays clips of Governor Deval Patrick addressing the stretched out mutual aid system in the Merrimack Valley and the Lawrence "crisis."

Tom Duggan calls in to discuss the inside story on the Willie Lantigua budget mess in Lawrence, the mayor's war with the firefighters and Tom takes on the governor for what he calls "lying to the public".

Tom's call is about 17 minutes into this clip, we left the entire hour in the audio feed so you could hear the discussion before his call and the clips of Deval Patrick.

Tom and Paul talk about GOP state senate candidate Jamison Tomasek changing his position on Lawrence needing a finance control board, Candidate for Governor's Council Jason Panos came in and took a beating but he held his ground stating he believes in a "living breathing constitution". State Rep. Barry Finegold came in and tried to defend his vote for a $35 Million loan for Lawrence with no fiscal controls. Finegold also refused to address the fact that Lawrence Mayor Lantigua laid off 24 cops and 25 firefighters after getting the $35 million loan.

We also cut an hour of extra audio that did NOT air and the quality of the audio is TERRIBLE. We are working on cutting an extra hour each week if we can work out the audio kinks. This was our first test run. Not worth listening to.
